About me

Industry Publishing
Occupation Editor
Location Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada
Introduction I have working in publishing for more than two decades, both as a staff and freelance writer and editor. I knew before I was old enough to work a typewriter that I wanted to write for a living, and here I am. I am currently self-employed as a contractor to several publications across Canada and to private book clients. I love writing and editing content about construction, architecture, engineering, forestry, the environment, travel, and clean, healthy living. I homeschool two children, spent a ridiculous amount of time outside, and, occasionally, enjoy quiet time with my husband. This blog is a place to write notes, journals, comments, and opinions on various topics relating to education and adult learning. I welcome constructive feedback of all types. Let's go!
Interests Trail running, Mountain biking, Yoga, Reading, Craft beer, Homeschooling, and Making life spectacular.
Favorite Movies Goodfellas, Natural Born Killers, Pulp Fiction.
Favorite Music Pearl Jam, Ani DiFranco, Live, Michael Franti -- anything that tells a deep and meaningful story without destroying anyone's sense of self.
Favorite Books There is not enough space here. I love Joseph Boyden, Alice Hoffman, Khaled Hosseini, and that is only the beginning ...
